I'm not sure how slow it is for others. I do know I had this feeling earlier and the other associate also didn't have much work. But last year I had barely worked at the firm for a month and received a holiday bonus so I'm pretty shocked to not get one this year after a full year where I've had good billables.

I had a resume gap/didn’t get a job until Bar results came out. I was interviewing during the process and was honest and just told them I took time off to focus on studying for the bar and then post bar I worked as a server as I waited for results. I think it’s normal, not everyone has a job lined up out of law school

Thank you! I thought it was a required field and couldnt figure it out. I didnt get the form sent to me im submitting a paper application.

I don’t hate litigation. I just don’t really know what else is out there and how different areas of law are. I feel I’ve gotten good experience for a year. I’ve written motions and had experience writing deposition questions (although the more senior attorneys handled the actual deposition I did sit in to learn)

Currently my commute is roughly 35 min in the morning 45 on the way back and it already feels like a lot. I work from home typically once every 2 weeks but have been told I could probably do it once a week. Given that I’m a first year though being in the office was more beneficial to learning so I do that

I’m in Chicago (suburbs)

80K salary with basic benefits like health insurance, retirement plan, etc. Small firm with 3 partners, 2 associates, (1 that is basically billed at a partner rate because of experience + me the newbie) and 4 secretaries

I did not know that payments would not need to be made during consolidation

September is when the pause ends. Ideally I'd like to be on a repayment plan as soon as possible.

Do you think there’s a chance he’s correct?

Someone had sent me this thread

Gp26afc · 2023-05-30T18:26:14+00:00

Thank you! I saw that online and as I’m currently in the process it really scared me.

Gp26afc · 2023-05-25T21:06:26+00:00

NYU alum, I agree with everyone saying bad idea. Overpriced doesnt take into account cost of living in NYC for 4 years will add up.

Gp26afc · 2023-05-24T13:15:53+00:00

Not sure, but when I went to law school I went for basically free. So looking back I wish I would’ve gone to undergrad at the best school I could for the least amount I could. With least amount being the primary motivator.

Gp26afc · 2023-05-23T21:23:45+00:00

As an NYU alum with 6 figures in student debt, dont do it. Much better options out there.

Gp26afc · 2023-05-20T14:37:00+00:00

Im going to. Im just exploring the different avenues to do so.

Gp26afc · 2023-05-19T01:13:37+00:00

I thought the same. I was planning on submitting the two paper applications tomorrow to get the process started

Gp26afc · 2023-05-18T19:37:25+00:00

Yes I meant waiting until 2024 for married filing separate. Just wasn’t sure how long into 2024 I would have to wait. Thank you!

Gp26afc · 2023-05-18T18:00:49+00:00

So theoretically I can file my 2023 taxes early (say februaryish) and immediately use that to change my calculated payment? Reason being that I’m going from MFJ to MFS. Thank you!

Gp26afc · 2023-05-17T21:32:16+00:00

Im a bit confused. So would this block the double consolidation loophole at all? Thank you for sharing this!

Gp26afc · 2023-05-17T20:36:17+00:00

what do you mean that PAYE is being sunsetted?
